EDITORS COMMENTS
Captivated by her eccentric charm and love for animals, Mrs Alison McLaren Morrison poses proudly with some of her cherished caged monkeys at her home in Kemnel Warren, Chislehurst, Kent. This print captured in 1935 by John Topham transports us to a unique moment between the wars. In this snapshot from the past, we catch a glimpse into an era where pets were not limited to cats and dogs alone. Mrs Morrison's collection of monkeys showcases both her adventurous spirit and unconventional taste. The intricate cages surrounding them serve as a testament to her dedication in providing a safe haven for these mischievous creatures. The monochrome tones add depth to the image, emphasizing the contrast between Mrs Morrison's elegant attire and the playful nature of her primate companions. It is evident that she has formed deep bonds with these intelligent creatures, as they curiously interact with their caring owner. This photograph captures more than just an unusual pet choice; it encapsulates a time when people sought solace in their animal companions amidst uncertain times. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of European photography history, we are reminded of the profound connection humans share with animals – one that transcends societal norms and brings joy even during challenging periods. Let this enchanting image transport you back to an era where boundaries were pushed, individuality was celebrated, and our furry friends held special places within our hearts.
